Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Seems to me this would jeopardize ALL US military personnel stationed on US bases throughout NATO countries.
If we attack Greenland that activates article 5 of the NATO charter and NATO will have to defend it against the United States. That could be Trump’s justification for leaving NATO. Heck, he might even claim they kicked us out.
Trump: “We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and the European Union needs us to have it. And they know it.”

And if these “narcoterrorists” are hauling drugs to be used as “weapons“ against the U.S., does this mean we have the right to keep and bear cocaine to defend ourselves?
Yes, the entire murderous campaign is premised on the GOP pretending we live in some kind of Breaking Bad Extended Universe where drug cartels are peer-state enemies with fleets, Air Forces, and maniacally dedicated soldiers who will continue “their mission” after being blown to bits in the ocean.
He might have been signaling the reverse-vampires, or the reptiloid mothership or something.
This is what republicans hope you’re stupid enough to believe.

Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent.
